So the plant owners didn’t know the homes were there? They didn’t know that an explosion would likely destroy the immediate area?

Did they do anything to protect the surrounding people? Or did they just keep rolling the dice pretending nothing bad would ever happen?

So the plant owners didn’t know the homes were there?

The plant has been there for 60 years, built when it was nothing but countryside.

So let me throw the ball back into your court, why did the town's zoning laws allow neighborhods and schools and whatever be built within such close proximity to the plant?

When the plant was first built it was north of town and no other businesses, schools, houses or apartments were nearby.

The plant was always an established reality and part of its structure.

When the city began to grow north I am sure no one thought that it would blow up.

I am just telling you guys as a person who has spent some time in the town and I have friends who were raised there.
